THE judging dates for Loughborough in Bloom to show off its flower power have been revealed.

Last year the town’s efforts secured a Silver Gilt Award - and after the judges look around the town on July 13, it is hoped a Gold Award could be harvested at the awards ceremony later this year.

Rob Cockburn, Loughborough in Bloom co-ordinator, said: “The judging date has been revealed and the Board’s plans to show Loughborough’s remarkable achievement is right on target.

“Loughborough’s increase in community involvement has been phenomenal this year. Now it’s almost time to show the judges just how the bloom community has grown and doubled since they last visited a year ago.

“The Bloom is all about growing communities and taking good care of the environment. With these two cornerstones in place, you can’t fail to create stunning floral displays.

“Judging day is a day for the town to celebrate its sustained community achievement and stunning floral displays.

“The result will be announced on September 14 at the East Midlands in Bloom awards ceremony which is to be hosted this year by Oadby and Wigston Borough Council.”
